Updates on American Espionage

No country has managed to escape the millions of spying operations carried out by the United States against the rest of the world. These recent events sparked a wave of mixed reactions, especially in the allied countries whose leaders were directly targeted by intelligence gathering efforts. This disclosure of information showed the extent of spying, reaching even what goes on in the bedrooms of those targeted, as well as the United States’ ability to control global communications — perhaps that was one of the main goals of this disclosure.

The revelation of information came from a “Trojan horse” named Snowden, a former CIA employee and currently a refugee in Russia.

Before Snowden came along, another “horse” by the name of Assange was running the website WikiLeaks, which leaked hundreds of millions of American documents concerning the internal conditions of various countries around the world and their relations with each other. He remains in hiding, seeking refuge in an embassy.

The majority of countries have reacted to this disclosure by dismissing it as no more than a diplomatic matter. President Barack Obama’s words were the clearest when he stated that everyone is spying on everyone else.

Even while a formal U.S. apology was being directed at the leaders and officials of countries that had been personally spied on, other U.S. officials underscored the urgency of spying and that the U.S. should increase it capabilities, not retreat from spying operations.

Therefore the question of what’s new in spying leads to the unspoken consequences of spying; merely a prompting for these countries to summon their respective American ambassadors and for the United States to conduct a review of its electronic surveillance practices.

The reality of the matter is that the 2 billion U.S. spying operations on various countries revealed the most important message of all, which is that everyone on this planet — from leaders to officials to citizens — are all under American observation and that the U.S. advancement in electronic surveillance has reached a high degree of progression. It is certain that the American and international spying industry will witness a transition due to this recent intelligence disclosure, just as happens in the pharmaceutical industry when new diseases are encountered — the pharmaceutical industry reaps millions in profits with each new discovery, such as AIDS and serial influenza.

It is not unlikely that communication companies and American technological information companies, with their global reach, have started a marketing campaign for combating spyware in the international markets which were exposed to the American invasion. These companies have also most likely started developing alternatives to the hardware and tools discovered as being used in these spying operations, which will result in millions in profit for espionage itself.

America has displayed its power through the exposure of one of the largest spying operations in human history, which has led to international alarm due to the extent of American technological development. This espionage has been a research and development machine which will reap the fruits of a new world war launched by the United States against the world. Jordan’s brunt of the total spying operation constituted more than 1.5 million electronic surveillance attacks.
